Anecdotes
Special effects experts were unable to produce an authentic-looking locust plague. Just as they were about to abandon the scene, they received word that a real locust plague was taking place several states away. A camera crew was rushed to the scene to capture it on film.

Gaffes
(at around 2h 5 mins) Wang Lung is walking through the locust storm in his wheat field. He picks up a few men who have fallen down into the thick pile of locusts. In frustration, Wang shouts "I said save the wheat! Save it!" At this moment, a man dressed in 1937-era American clothing walks across the scene from left to right, at the top third of the screen. He is wearing a white hat and appears to be smoking a cigarette or cigar held in his left hand.

Citations
Wang Lung: [must sell his land to feed his family but the buyers take advantage of him] Thieves! Thieves! And well you know I must sell.
O-Lan: No! Not the land. We'll not sell the land. We'll keep it. We'll go south and when we return, we'll still have the land.
Uncle: But I've arranged it. I brought these men here. You MUST sell!
O-Lan: Is it your land? Did you buy it bit by bit? The land is our life... and it's better to go south... or die walking... than to give it to you for nothing.

Crédits fous
Introduction played with opening credits: The soul of great nation is expressed in the life of its humblest people. In this simple story of a Chinese farmer may be found something of a the soul of China - its humility, its courage, its deep heritage from the past and its vast promise for the future.

Beautifully made classic

An epic movie from Old Hollywood about Chinese farmer Wang (Paul Muni), his wife O-Lan (Luise Rainer), and their struggles with famine, locusts, and greed. Muni is terrific. He's a divisive actor for many. I think he's one of the best actors of his era. Others think he's hammy and over-the-top. Luise Rainer won an Oscar for her sensitive, quiet performance as O-Lan. Charley Grapewin brings his grizzled old-timer persona he used in many films to this one. He's great fun to watch whether he's in China or Oklahoma. Also winning an Oscar was the great cinematographer Karl Freund, possibly best known today for his Universal horror films. It's a beautiful-looking film. Obviously, the elephant in the room is the casting of white actors as some of the Chinese characters. That's going to be a deal-breaker for politically correct types. If you're one of them, just spare yourself the faux outrage and watch something else. For everybody else, check this out and enjoy a classic film with a lot to offer.
